Know Before You Go: Botox in 2018

Everyone is getting on board for the ‘new year, new you’ of 2018. This means different things to different people, with goals like weight loss and daily meditation making many New Year’s resolution lists. One simple way to kick-start the good vibrations for the brand-new year is through some self-care with a Botox Cosmetic appointment. However, before you treat yourself to a treatment with botulinum toxin type A, brush up on a few current facts, because in 2018, because this is not your mamma’s Botox.

1. Botox Can Boost Your Mood

Studies show that when you feel better, you look happier, and other people therefore respond better to you. This, in turn, leads to a boost in the mood and increased self-confidence. Botox can restore self-esteem by making patients feel younger and more youthful looking, plus it can give the appearance a softer, refreshed, happier look. The positive vibes both inside and out mean that Botox Cosmetic can boost your mood.

2. Botox is Safer Than Ever Before

Botox Cosmetic is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe and extremely successful treatment for temporarily eliminating wrinkles in patients under the age of 65. While these wrinkle-reducing injections are still safe at any age, according to the Mayo Clinic, after the age of 65, results may be less consistent. With decades of studies, Botox is proven to be safe for the short term, as well as over the long-term, with no issues or problems occurring when the injections stop.

3. Botox is Not Just for Smoothing Facial Lines

Botox Cosmetic fights forehead creases, Crow’s Feet, and Frown Lines like no other. However, as the worlds of science and medicine continue to study the toxin, more uses are being approved. Today, Botox is the best way to treat hyperhidrosis, or overactive sweating under the arms, hands, and feet. The injectable can also fight migraines, overactive bladder, and, according to Time Magazine, premature ejaculation.

4. Botox is Only Good from a Trusted Provider

Botox is everywhere these days, like the dentist office, from your gynecologist, and even during your appointment at your allergist. While many providers want to cash in on the craze, it is your job to protect your appearance by only trusting a board certified plastic surgeon and his experienced team of aestheticians to apply these tiny injections. When applied by a certified, well-trained professional, Botox Cosmetic is safe and the results will be everything you hope for – and more!
